The Belleville Chili Cook-Off continues. Here’s the schedule for Saturday
And the party carries on in downtown Belleville.
The 38th annual Chili Cook-Off festivities continue Saturday, kicking off with the Chili Chase 5K Run/Walk.
The 5K begins at East Main and Church streets at 9 a.m. The Kids Pepper Dash starts at 10:30 a.m.
And whether you’re a participant or an observer, you’re sure to build up an appetite (and thirst).
Luckily there’s plenty more chili (and beer) to be had. (Including the vegan kind — I’ve been informed that the Belleville Running Club serves a good one. Huzzah!)
Again, eat, drink, be merry and enjoy the party
